New KKR London head

Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co.(KKR) has appointed Johannes Huth as head of its London office from early next year when Ned Gilhuly, who helped establish the office six years ago, returns to the United States.

Huth will be responsible for developing KKR’s business across Europe. Huth, a 44 year old German national, has 14 years of private equity experience and is fluent in four languages. He joined KKR in 1999 and has been involved in several of the firm’s European investments, including most recently MTU Aero Engines GmbH and ATU Auto-Teile-Unger Holding AG.
